Abstract:
Methods and systems are provided for providing a mobile communications device with access to a provider with a plurality of security levels. The security state of the device varies according to severity levels of device security events. The mobile communications device generates data regarding security events and provides the data to the provider, which compares that security state to a policy associated with the provider. The mobile communications device is allowed to access to a provider service where the device's current security state meets or exceeds the security state required for the provider service.
